Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 lb pancetta , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb broccoli rabe , tough ends removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 lb linguine

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 350°. Toast the pine nuts in the oven until they are golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  2. In a large frying pan, cook the pancetta with the oil over moderate heat until beginning to crisp. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  3. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the broccoli rabe until almost done, about 3 minutes. Drain. Add the broccoli rabe to the frying pan along with the salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  4. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain and toss with the broccoli rabe and pine nuts.
  5. Wine Recommendation: A crisp white wine is the best idea for this dish as it will cut through the salt of the meat and the richness of the nuts. Choose a chenin-blanc-based wine from the Loire Valley in France such as a Savennières or Anjou. Make sure it is dry (not demi-sec).
